Summary Introduction

To review:

The amplification of the signal transduction pathway.

Introduction:

Signal transduction is the transmission of the physical or chemical signals by a relay of events taking place inside the cell. The ligands eliciting the response bind to the receptors which induce a cascade of phosphorylation to induce cell response. The phosphorylation of the protein inhibits or stimulates cellular response.
